  • Sediment data show mainly the prevalence of soil types covering the bedrock surface. Most of the soils were formed during and after the last ice age. The data shows only the soil that dominates in the upper meters of the terrain surface. Thick and thin layers by other soils may occur further down in the soil profile.

  • The map application 'National area information' is developed by NGU (Geological Survey of Norway) to show the diversity of tematic area information that is available as map services on the web. The application include all the WMS services from NGU that is accessible through Norway digital (the national geographical infrastructure). It also include selected WMS services from public agencies/departments which offers thematic data that is interesting to show in relation to geological information.

  • This dataset contains the grain size composition of seabed sediments upper part. Grain size data are based on analyzes of seabed samples, analysis and interpretation of digital reflectivity data and interpretation of analog and digital seismic data. In the attribute table of the data set, information is given about the different grain size classes based on the content of different fractions in sediments.

  • This data set contains the seabed sediments on the upper part of the bottom of the sea (upper 0-50 cm of the seabed), classified after genesis. The data set covers coastal areas in mapped areas in detailed scale. Detailing level vary between data from different mapping projects.

  • The data set shows the grain size composition in the upper part of the seabed sediments (upper 0-50 cm of the seabed). The attribute table for the data set provides information on the different grain size classes and which term is used based on the content of different fractions in sediments. Based on information about grain size distribution, other topics can be further developed, such as sedimentation environment, bottom stream data, information on hard and soft bottoms, etc.
